What are Triple Antifield Heaters?

The latest development in infrared saunas is triple antifield heaters. Triple antifield heaters mitigate all 3 kinds of EMF (electromagnetic fields).The best carbon heaters only mitigate 1 kind of EMF (magnetic fields only), have high electric fields, and therefore are single antifield heaters.

The 3 Kinds of EMF:

Electric Fields

Magnetic Fields

RF Waves("radio frequency" or high frequency waves)

High Tech Health was granted patent US 9,770,386 for this heater technology on September 26, 2017.

Independently Proven

Vitatech Electromagnetics, a company specializing in EMF measurement and engineering, has located and measured the maximum electric field level and maximum magnetic field at the surface of the heater we use behind the backrest in our saunas.

RF Waves (high frequency waves)

NOT PRESENT / BLOCKED

Our heaters do not produce any RF waves and will even block external RF energy (such as Bluetooth or Wifi).

Compare to Other Sauna Heaters

Regular Infrared Sauna Heaters

EMF is inherent to everything that is electrical. The more power an electric device consumes, the more EMF that will be present. Infrared saunas by their very nature consume a lot of power (watts). Your exposure to EMF increases with your proximity to all that power and in an infrared sauna you lean right up against it.

Without efforts to mitigate EMF, all infrared sauna heaters have high electric fields and high magnetic fields.

† The above levels were measured in our lab at the backrest of a typical carbon heater sauna from a top manufacturer.

Single Antifield Heaters

Despite often being advertised as "low EMF", single antifield heaters only mitigate 1 kind of EMF: typically magnetic fields only.

Typical maximum levels for a single antifield heater:

"Low EMF" Heater

‡ The above levels were measured in our lab at the backrest in front of a 550 watt "low EMF" backrest heater from a top manufacturer.

Notice the electric field levels are much much higher than Vitatech recommends.

Notice the maximum magnetic field level is much higher than such companies ever suggest. Almost no companies ask Vitatech to locate the maximum levels. Instead they direct Vitatech to measure only points they know are very low.

There is No Such Thing as a "No EMF" Heater

At best, a "no EMF" heater is probably a single anti-field heater with lowered magnetic fields and high electric fields. No engineer would ever claim such a heater has "no EMF".

EMF is inherent to everything that is electrical. The more power an electric device consumes, the more EMF that will be present. Separate steps must be taken to reduce electric and magnetic fields. Magnetic field reduction is imperfect and electric field reduction can be imperfect too.

No company has yet to make a backrest heater with a maximum magnetic field level at the heater's surface below the threshold of detection. It hasn't happened yet and probably won't ever happen. EVERY heater has measurable magnetic fields somewhere at its surface.

Don't trust any company that suggests they have a "no EMF" heater.

Don't trust any third-party EMF report that does not seek to identify maximum field levels at a heater's surface. Also, every third-party EMF report should confirm the manufacturer's stated power level.

About Us

Since 1994, High Tech Health enables people serious about their health, as well as professionals, to take control of their own health with research-based products.

We are perhaps best known for our infrared saunas designed for health professionals, and our drive to provide the greatest results for the least amount of money.
